Disk Cleaner is een klein programma voor Windows dat tijdelijke bestanden van diverse applicaties van het systeem verwijderd worden. Per applicatie kan aangegeven worden of de niet-benodigde bestanden verwijderd moeten worden. Op de site van Disk Cleaner is onlangs in de vorm van 1.5.4 build 315 een nieuwe versie uitgebracht. De update kan gedownload worden als installatiepakket of als archiefbestand. Welke veranderingen doorgevoerd zijn in build 315 kan hierbeneden gelezen worden:
History[break]
- New feature: added the option to hide entries with zero items , which means less clutter on screen since any items meant for software you haven't installed are hidden. This is OFF by default, however. Turn it on by pressing the 'C' button. Then check the box for 'Hide entries when empty'. The setting will take effect the next time Disk Cleaner is run.
- New plug-ins for IZArc, Microsoft Works 4.5 and WordPerfect.
- New plug-in (thanks to Leonardo Lanese Cavalieri) for a forced \Windows\Temp cleaner. On NT, 2000 and XP, the default temp folder is in the 'Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp' folder. Some applications do not use this folder, but insist on using '\windows\Temp'. This plug-in clears that folder (or more exactly, it clears '%windir%\Temp').
- New plug-in for Quick Time Player.
- Added Office 2003 to the office plug-in.
- Added Paint Shop Pro 8 and 9 to the Paint Shop Pro plug-in.
- Enhanced the cleaning for Real Player
- Bugfix: On Windows XP (and perhaps 2000), Disk Cleaner shows an error if it is unable to write to the .ini file (i.e. a read-only drive). Win 9x machines do not show this problem. This should be fixed.
- Bugfix: The feature of removing files on reboot, if they are locked by Windows, could only be turned of temporarily. Disk Cleaner would not remember this setting permanently and turned it on again on the next run. Should be fixed.
- Bugfix: the start-on-login shortcut link that Disk Cleaner can create automatically did not enclose preset names in quotes (""). When a preset name contains a space, nothing would be cleaned. Should be fixed.
- Bugfix: When using the right mouse button menu to 'Select All' or to 'Invert selection', the number of bytes selected to clean was not updated. Again, should be fixed.
